The four-day Easter holiday ended on the 21st, and Hong Kong citizens' willingness to travel has surged, with a surge in the popularity of "mainland travel" to the north. According to data from the Immigration Department of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, as of 4:00 pm on the 21st, over 4.325 million people have entered and exited the country during the Easter holiday. On the 21st, it is expected to experience a peak of return entry. As of 4:00 pm, there were over 555000 people entering and leaving the country, including over 310000 inbound and approximately 244000 outbound. On the 20th, many Hong Kong people chose to return to Hong Kong early during the "off peak" period to avoid the peak of inbound traffic. However, in the afternoon, there was still a long queue of vehicles on the Hong Kong Zhuhai Macao Bridge, and multiple land ports were still crowded until 9:30 pm. According to statistics, over 1.276 million people entered and exited the country through various sea, land, and air traffic control stations on the 20th. On the first day of the Easter holiday in Hong Kong on the 18th, nearly 1.25 million people entered and exited through various ports, with about 418000 people entering and about 832000 people leaving, ushering in a peak of outbound travel. Among the outbound travelers, there were 724000 Hong Kong residents, and a large number of Hong Kong residents chose to go to the mainland for vacation. At 8:45 am on the 18th, there were already a large number of people passing through the Luohu Port. Many Hong Kong people were carrying backpacks and suitcases as the crowd moved, creating a scene comparable to the Spring Festival travel rush. I often go to Shenzhen on a regular basis, but this time I took advantage of the holiday and didn't have to rush. I thought I could go around and buy more things to come back, but that's what everyone thought, "said Ms. Zhou, a Hong Kong citizen. In addition to Shenzhen, many Hong Kong people also choose to go to nearby cities such as Guangzhou, Chaoshan, Foshan, Zhongshan, Zhuhai, etc. to enjoy the cultural and natural scenery, eat "plain and beautiful" food, and visit warehouse style supermarkets. Some Hong Kong people have gone further, delving deep into the mainland and experiencing 'poetry and distance'. On the 18th, nearly 84000 people left Hong Kong via West Kowloon Station. Ms. Yang and her family, Hong Kong citizens, chose to take the high-speed rail directly to Chongqing. "The customs clearance was much smoother than expected. Recently, we have been browsing Chongqing's food and scenery on social media, and we really want to use our vacation to experience it in mainland China. The reporter learned that due to the relatively cheap air tickets for mainland flights departing from Shenzhen, a considerable number of Hong Kong residents choose to first pass through Shenzhen and then take a plane from Shenzhen to travel to mainland cities. Although there are many people passing the customs, the process is relatively easy and convenient, and many friends around me also come to Shenzhen to take a plane Mr. Chen, a Hong Kong citizen, said, "In the past, during the Easter holiday, we used to wander around the surrounding cities of the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Greater Bay Area. This year, we are looking forward to seeing so many famous mountains and rivers. This season and time are perfect
